Went for a quick trip to Scraithole last week, just for a first time look around. We got as far as this bit and decided it was time to go to the pub for lunch and to come back another day.Is there anything else past this point, or anything of specific interest in the mine in general? We were a bit intrigued by the steel ladders further back too but saved them for another time (preferably one where we had goggles to see through the waterfall coming down them!) Seems a bit of a iffy mine with all that lovely rotting wood and shaley bits, and dead animals floating about near surface shaft
